The video shows a man in a Flyers jersey throwing the first punch seen on tape. When one of the Rangers fans tries to intervene, he’s thrown to the ground and surrounded by the three Flyers fans who pummel him.

One of the men who was beaten is a decorated Marine and Woodbridge, N.J. police officer. Neal Auricchio, 33, was taken to an area hospital and required stitches to close his wounds. He’s now recovering at his home in New Jersey.

“He’s upset about what happened. It was a tough situation. He’s a life-long Ranger fan and he had an opportunity to go to a special event and things just got carried away,” his father, Neal Auricchio, Sr. “Sports is supposed to be a good time, you go there, you root for your team, you have fun with your friends and then you go home. This kind of stuff should never happen at a sporting event, there’s no justification for this at a sporting event, ever.”
